Tower City’s small businesses and what their websites need
The Census counted 50 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 17980, which includes Tower City and its surroundings. A sample of that count, and what each kind of business needs online:
- Quick-service restaurants: 3. Their website should show the menu with prices, hours and the closest cross streets.
In Schuylkill County, the Census counted 2,705 businesses with employees and 7,451 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. 24 warehousing and storage operators operate in Schuylkill County, 3.7 times what the national mix would predict. In that trade, businesses compare space, location and services; a good site gives customers square footage, services, location and a quote request. Wood products manufacturers are also overrepresented (16, four times the national share). Tower City’s working residents are concentrated in manufacturing (24.0%) and education, health care and social assistance (18.5%). None of them needs a complicated site; they need one that answers the customer’s first questions honestly.

What Pennsylvania asks of a business with a website
Some homework before launch:
- Check with both Schuylkill County and the Borough of Tower City about local business tax receipts before opening. Official source
- The Pennsylvania sales tax rate is 6 percent. Only two local add-ons exist: 1 percent in Allegheny County and 2 percent in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania Department of Revenue
- Accessibility is a federal matter: the Justice Department’s ADA guidance covers the websites of businesses open to the public. ADA.gov guidance
Each business is different; this is general information, not legal advice.
